maybe if they were trying to take over germania their problems would have been solved a while ago lol. imagine if dog walkers walked dogs with the motto "lets take over the world and pillage new lands"
Those jumps the dog did to Joel is exactly why I could not keep my Corso. Mine would jump at my husband and my husband LAUGHED !! My husband was not on the same page for training. Everything I worked on during the day time was thrown out the window in the evening when my husband came home from work. My husband would not listen to me or watch any training videos. It was the saddest day when I returned her to her breeder. EVERYONE living in the house with a dog MUST be in on the training and the same training techniques.
Why would you give away the dog that loved you and respected you, instead of letting go of the human who clearly doesn't respect you and therefore love you if he doesn't respect your needs.
@@jannie0rat both parties weren’t on the same page…would have been even more difficult for them and the dog. Have common sense. Returning to the breeder is the best thing you can do.
@@midxclappers4888 regardless I still stand by the fact that the dog loved and respected her more than the husband she is still in a relationship with. It sounds very one sided and like she is being walked all over.
So sorry you had to return her Terri. You're right everyone has to be on the same page. That's why I even have my 3 kids as well as my fiance helping me with training our am staff mix.
I have a 3 month Corso and from day one I have never tolerated any negative behavior and he already knows this is unacceptable behavior and he understands mom will not let me do this...Firm loving leadership and socialization is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for these dogs.
i loved the way Prince so elegantly leaped over the Cane when correcting him. He looked like he was intentionally being gentle while still getting the job done.
It always amazes me how well Prince does in all of these situations also. Even when it looks like it's too much (usually because it's in slo-motion) it always seems that it's exactly what was needed. Just cool to watch.
Showed him how much quicker He was, more agile, more organised in his intensity without any animosity, Prince is a King. Many people need a Prince, not just dogs.
I have never been a fan of Dobermann's, always found them intimidating due to the look, size and the fact that I was bit on the shoulder by one when I was 9 years old. But Prince has really opened my eyes. He is absolutely gorgeous, obviously friendly and clearly so intelligent. He is really an amazing dog!
I grew up with the sweetest dobie girl, she was affectionate and gentle unless the family was threatened and then she would get really loud and fierce to outsiders. She was smart too! When my brother and I would wrestle around she would get worried and whimper because she didn't know which she was supposed to be taking care of. But she was a great family dog!
@tvvistedv3nom26 correct. I thought the commenter was confused, thinking the cane corso was a doberman, so just clarified. I am aware he uses Prince and that Prince is a Doberman.
My Doberman does the same thing Prince did when his playmate would lie down. He barks at them. I guess it's his way of saying "Come on! Don't just lie there. Get up and play!".
@@BDTraining Unfortunately there are people who think his barking means he's getting aggressive and is about to attack so they pull their dog away and playtime is over. My intact male is around 100lbs. and plays gently with smaller dogs. His smaller friends consist of a Yorkie, a French Bulldog and a Puggle (I think that's what it is) and Sammy will lay down and let them climb all over him. I have a vid of him playing with one of his friends (Punky) on my channel if you want to check him out.
he is really a young baby with so much energy, and everything done was really soft, I have no idea why people think that this is a bad way to train a dog, I hope that with the right training he growth up to be a well adjusted dog :3
This is honestly why I don’t recommend very petite people get these stubborn large breed dogs. You may very well need to physically overpower it on a regular basis once it reaches maturity and the first time you fail to do so, you lose all the respect they ever had for you and start from square one again. I hope these ladies are tough and able to follow through with any necessary physical corrections. I know as a woman nearly double their size and in (what I consider at least lol) good shape, doing this with my Malamutes could be physically very taxing… but it was absolutely necessary to train them to be in the right respectful headspace.
I partially agree, partially disagree. I agree that with a dog this size, sometimes you might need to physically overpower it. However, I also think you should make it clear from the time it’s a puppy that negative behavior won’t be tolerated so that you won’t need to overpower it when it’s an adult. By then it should know better.
Agree. My grandparents had this dog. He was too much for them physically. These dogs mostly respect stern dominant men who are physically stronger than them. This is from experience.
Have you seen the second lady? She doesn't appear small nor soft to me 😂 anyways, I believe that if we train a dog right, you don't need to overpower them later, because they know their place. My father had german shepherds and my mom teached me some basic commands and as a four years old toddler, the dog was following my commands. I never gave him any treats. Same later when I was ten years old and we got an English Setter. After 1 year, the dog had same weight like I had as an 11 year old girl and after going on the walk with my father, soon I was capable of walking on the street with a leash by my own (which is now not legal anymore in Germany, they changed the age to 14 years). It's true that the Setter could have easily overpowered me with pure force but didn't. The only time I was using treats was when I was teaching him "sit, down and paws" But in the 80s dog training was very very different from what I am experiencing now with my Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix. 😮 Everything is positive reinforcement only. I wasn't ready for that change in society. What happened in the last twenty years? 😅
Size has little to do with it unless the dog is already grown and by then it’s not the best situation for even a large person. These dogs usually weigh more than the average man so again, size doesn’t matter much, training them early matters more.
"We have to speak with actions" is a really great line!! So true! I think people talk too much with their animals, and really they need to look at their actions with their animals, because that is what they truly understand.
My mastiff virtually knocked my wife out by jumping up and catcher her under the chin with his head. Stopping the jumping became a priority after that scare.
I love when he keeps it real about the kind of approach some dogs need. People get these strong-willed powerful dogs and only train with rewards and treats then wonder why they don’t understand why they act unruly. It’s unfortunate that Cane Corso’s have become so popular because too many people are getting these dogs and they will wind up in a shelter in about 8-12 months.
Ive never had a dog and probably never will. I dont know why im watching but am addicted to your videos haha. Keep up the good work and dont let the haters in the comment bother you!
Man that cane Corso has a great temperament, but yes he absolutely needs boundaries and discipline. His parents are on the ball bringing him to you. Thank you for this opportunity to learn!
No kidding I’m a little jealous. Mine is same age but is fearful and can be reactive. I put so much work into him it’s not funny and have been working with a trainer since day one. This dog seems like a walk in the park.
I'm so glad to see you put a dog that's out of his mind on his side... I've done this a couple of times with my dog, because when we pass a couple of dogs in a short time, his brain just goes haywire. Only thing that can turn the walk into something enjoyable again is this! It is not as punishment, just like you say, only thing I want to acomplish through it, is a calmer dog. Love the video's and love the podcasts! Keep 'em coming!!!
This is the exact image of my Pitbull/Labrador mix 'Toro', he loves to jump right up to your nose, he likes to play bite, loves a challenge and when he is yelled at or told no he goes crazy like its all a big game.
This is my favourite video so far. It really demonstrates your knowledge and you can see the dogs behaviour change. What a beautiful dog and Prince was fantastic as well.
My tiny Pom is very jealous of my other Poms. He’s the baby but your video reminded me to put him in his place. I give him these sticks with dry chicken around them, he eats the chicken and leaves the stick but won’t let any other dog take them. He barks and growls, I put him on his side and told him NO a few times and make him stay like that for few seconds, he listens but he’s been sulking ever since watching the others eat his leftovers 😂😂😂
Thank you. I got approached by idiots while walking and correcting my 11 month old Aussie-mix that I adopted out of a quiet complicated situation. The dog is a diamond, but was in need of a temporary strict and correctional treatment - which worked wonders on him. I believe in the balanced approach and seeing a super-hyper Aussie-mix getting the turn in about three and a half weeks makes me both proud of the dog and confident as a dog handler.
There’s a border collie in my neighborhood whose owners have to hold her between their legs whenever a car drives past on walks because I guess the dog will go crazy going after cars. I’m sure the dog comes from working stock and is high energy, but that’s what happens when you don’t manage the energy and behavior of a dog like that. They have a young child, so I feel for them, but I’m sure it’s making their lives difficult. As long as you’re not being abusive, don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong. It’s better to issue short corrections that have the dog drag you down the street choking from their collar or wear a harness that gives them more power to drag you instead of giving you control.
You can see the Standard Schnauzer genetic heritage in Doberman Pinschers in the way they psycho-anylyze other dogs as opposed to red lining and getting easily agitated, a gem to watch them work.
This cane corso has a really bright future. After the corrections, the exercise will be so important for him because he's just gonna be so huge and powerful, but in general I kept saying "what a good boy" 😂
So 100% with you Joel on the part of a being over the treat training nonsense. I only treat train a young puppy at around 12 weeks when I'm doing basic obedience like the Sit, Down, Wait and other obedience commands, but not for anything that is behavioural. As you said, this dog needs to be shown what's okay, and what's not?!
Thank you for this video! I'm glad to see I'm on the right track with my corso. I've been restraining him when he gets out of control since he was a puppy...he's always loved the fight too! I now can tell him "relax" and he will flop down on his side (in a very dramatic and unwilling manner!) and lay there until I let him up.
when he bonked his big old head 😭😭😭😭 i have a boston terrier that does the same constantly, she’ll ding her little noggin and not even blink. dogs are such sweet dumb babies. you did great with this guy, just like always!
I just love that prince knows exactly what the dog needs based on the interaction. Like aggressive dogs need “aggressive” corrections and younger dogs that are just naive and energetic he kinda plays and shows them it’s ok while still correcting them. Dogs are amazing creatures, it’s in their blood.
I have a 4 month old corso. And holy hell this is her exact temperament. Such a sweet loving girl with a ton of energy and wiggles. Im soaking in this whole video
My 6th mastiff in my life (after Presas, a Boerboel and other Cane Corsos) turned out to be the most dominant, high energy Cane Corso I've ever seen and owned. The first time she was too disrespectful, I put her on her side. She was about 14 weeks old. She tried getting up. I did not let her. She tried again. I did not let her. She was going to learn that she needed to give in and relax. Nothing bad was going to happen, but I was not going to let her get up until she relaxed. She was not going to get away with this. But she kept trying. Constantly tried to get back up on her feet, always looking around to find "a way out". She tried getting up again. I did not let her. She tried again. I did not let her. Finally, she gave in and relaxed. A deep exhale and it was clear, she had given up. This took an hour and 15 minutes. The next time it took under a minute cause she had learned that there's no way out. Now if she is out of bounds, i tell her "down" and she lays on her side and she relaxes in a few seconds. Then she can get up again. Think about whether you REALLY want that internet hyped, cool battle breed, the Cane Corso. They will love you. They will defend you. Nothing will stop them from defending you. But their willpower comes at a price. Ask yourself if you really have the knowledge and the willpower and the patience to correctly set the rules, boundaries and limitations that this breed needs. There's a reason why Corsos are showing up in shelters in increasing numbers.
I had a working line Labrador Retriever who had energy like that as a young dog. We could exercise for hours and when put in a new situation later that same day would be just as energetic as this young Cane Corso. Don’t fault the owners especially when you have no information about them other than a few clips from a training session.
If you'd ever had a really high energy dog, you'd know you can exercise them all day and 10 minutes later they'e ready to go again. Don't judge based on assumptions.
My corso is like this when multiple people around even after going hiking 3 days in a row I swear, they love to fight and will find it where they can if not given something to do- example pushing boundaries with new people, leaning on them, them pushing him off and he leans more. Now he’s so hyper aroused when people come over, It’s all a game.
My dog is exactly the same. Loves the fight. Thanks to Joel’s videos we reduced behavior of this type 80% and as she gets older I’m sure it will be more :)
Yikes when working at a shelter and American bulldog almost threw me dow when he suddenly jumped up on me like that. I had to push him off me and correct him several times before he got it in his head not to do that. Treat would have never gotten him anywhere. He not only jumped but also pulled like crazy. I nicknamed him After being corrected and put in his place several times he no longer does either. He was still a happy boy and loved all the workers. The only change that happened was him developing manners and becoming a good canine citizen. Treats and positivity only are for learning tricks and for dogs that are behaved.
This video might be the perfect example as to why dogs are better teachers for dogs. The part of Prince getting an immediately, pretty much perfect result after putting this Cane pup on his side vs a human doing it but not really getting anywhere should be enough proof for any wannabe experts thinking dogs teaching dogs isn't as good as humans teaching them. If you speak the same language, communication is easier and more fruitful. These two very much made that clear. And I love it.
I just found this channel -- I am so in awe of you and Prince.. So many dogs absorb their owner's ego. You and Prince go into each interaction with your egos put away. Many dogs are insecure and cannot handle the back and forth of these dominance displays, but Prince truly is a teacher. His goal with these dogs is not to be the biggest and the baddest; when another dog mounts him or "wins" an exchange, he never escalates unnecessarily. He returns with an appropriate amount of force and he truly does not take it personally. I have worked in dog rescue, then as a vet tech for around 5 years, and even in dog grooming. Very rarely do you see a dog like Prince. And you both understand each other so well, it's something I have not seen from any other dog trainers I have watched.. And I have watched many!
This was my guy at 10 months old. Wish I'd had this video then. The protection stuff kicked in hard at a year and a half. He's nearly 4 now and we made it through but sheesh, what a time. He still loves nothing more than a wrestle.
I can see how these dogs can go from seemingly good dogs to nasty and aggressive. This dog is so adorable and to the untrained eye you would think this is normal puppy stuff that he will outgrow and seeing that wiggly butt as a good thing because it's so cute lol. But big dogs like this can become very dangerous if this behavior is not corrected early. So great of the owner for bringing her dog in for early intervention.
Germania approves that this dog is not released on us! I really love your professionality. You don't secretly kick dogs in the side or something like some so-called dog experts do, it seems like you made your behavior act like dogs would do it, so that the dog instinctively understand that this is a correction
This dude needs a frisbee and a lot of socialization with as many dogs as possible but I think his main problem is his energy which is normal for an 11 yo old muscle dog. Plus learning he cant win. 😊 Go Prince.
So glad I found you! Finally practical advice that is based in behavioral science and common sense. I'm just sick of mamby pamby veterinarians telling me punishment is bad and not even understanding canine behavior. Also sick of the steroid induced military influencers recommending use of prong and ecollars as the only way to extinguish unwanted behaviors. You are the Goldilocks of dog training....just right.
He's half grown, imagine a dog behaving like that in a years time. His owners are tiny, they've really got to develop a commanding posture that the dog respects. I could play with this dog all day, he looks great fun, but I'm 5'11" and weigh 220lbs!
Aw, what a sweet baby cane corso. Too much energy lol. With training he will be the best loyal dog ever. We adopted from the shelter an adult (maybe 5-6 years old?) cane corso back in 2020, he only jumped up on us when we hugged each other. Think perhaps he was witness to some kind of domestic violence at his previous home. Not sure, but his jumping wasn’t out of aggression or play, it was concern. He would push one of us away from the hug. Since then he now knows that hugs are good and that we’re not hurting each other, and he hasn’t jumped up ever since. Cane corsos are amazing dogs 💕 but definitely need amazing owners to keep them in line.
This was so helpful, thanks for the video. I have a five months old Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix and she's a force of nature sometimes.. and the puppy school only does "positive reinforcement" (i live in Germany) and I can't stop the jumping with it. This is why I am looking for advice outside of Germany. I once corrected the dog in a calm way and the trainer came to me and corrected me that "what you did is bad". I explained that I am a female and if I don't get this behavior out of the dog now, my future will be very difficult. Because this dogs like "yeah, let's make it a game". The trainers solution was "you don't give her enough treats, upgrade the quality of food and then you will have results" (face-palm from my side). Again, thanks so much for this valuable information. My dogs hitting his head sometimes when she has her zooomies and she doesn't care at all neither. Good to know that this means she is a tough nut.
Joel & Prince truly work in such synchronicity & are an amazing duo. Not every dog responds to the same basic run of the mill training methods, so treats would only hinder this war dog and dare to say actually be extremely negative & counter intuitive.
I hope Garrett Wing comments 😁. Good on these owners for taking this step at 11 months & not waiting until the dog has learned to be an expert bully throwing twice the weight round in a year! Interesting energy level for this breed??? Was picturing your reinforcement scale my head the whole time! That dog hitting his head is such a good point. A good boy with some serious tenacity (which he can’t help like Joel said). Thanks again 👍👍👍.
In that first playtime between those two, you can see Prince gently biting the other dogs legs when it tries to kick or keep prince away, Prince got the other dog to stop pawing at him and get him to put his paws down to himself so he could relax. He got dominated by Prince and it was incredibly fascinating to see, theres a war dog doing what they do, and he ends up being completely shaken up. You can literally see it on him that he's learning and changing!
This was so helpful to see how to manage all this energy and to address it while the dog is young enough to learn boundaries before he becomes a real problem. Thank you Joel for sharing this training session.
The wiggles are what my aussie does too and I've been doing the same thing. Don't give her attention until she's calm. Once she's calm, until she isn't calm again and then I'll stop petting her. It's definitely helped her learn to be a bit calmer.
I hope these owners follow through with what you teach them, Joel! Corsos get tough around 2 years old and if they haven’t figured out how to handle him by then, it’s going to be a mess.
I believe that they have made a good descicion already in seeing Joel and asking for advice. They are clearly open minded enough to get help from experts and changing gears if positive reinforcement only training doesn't get the results. Imagine those two ladies had the right trainer from the beginning.. I am positive that they will follow through.
If you watch Jason Corey’s videos you’ll see that his two Corsos are extremely well trained but are total wiggle butts with super waggy tails when released from training, it might be a breed thing 🤷🏻♀️ I noticed that the dog in the video is neutered already which is unfortunate. New research shows that it can be a big factor in things like bone cancer, the growth plates in the legs not closing at the right time which can cause the bone to be too long for the ligaments and tendons, plus many other health issues. The current recommendation for large or giant breed dogs is to not spay/neuter, do a hormone sparing spay/neuter, or wait until they are at least two years old (preferably three if you can). I understand that a lot of vets will stick to the old ways and will discount this research because they are taught to treat everyone as an irresponsible owner that needs their dog “fixed” ASAP. My own vet (I live in Australia btw) wanted me to have my bullmastiff/American staffy neutered at 10 months old, they told me this at his first vaccination. He’s just over two years old and I had him neutered last Thursday because puberty hit him like a freight train and he started humping people who menstruate (even if they weren’t at the time), and my Jack Russel/ridgeback mix. I feel this is the responsible thing for me to do.
That was nutty to watch. That dog really needs help, so stubborn. From what I've seen prople should be very wary of thinking they can handle a Cane Corso. Great video
Your point around the 5min mark talking about trainers who moan about this stuff being mean when in reality they just don't work with these dogs/get results with them whole heartedly agree! I'm not a professional dog trainer or anything like you but I have ended up training a lot of dogs *cough* and owners *cough* in my town, I had been trained by my Grandfather who was a K9 handler in the military and how we operate is pretty similar to how you do. I've trained dogs ranging from bad obedience, bad manners, terrified of the world, dominance or straight up aggression (will add while I recommend people who approach me to go to a trainer I only help people who aren't willing to spend anymore money on trainers, as usually they've tried several but failed. Don't know the situation in the US but in the UK dog training culture is flooded by soft trainers. Soft to the point they'd call YOU abusive 😅🤣😭😭. So basically cases where if I don't help the dog it won't get helped). Anyway I've noticed it nearly always comes down to a combination of two things. 1. People not knowing what they actually have. & 2. People being too soft. When I say about people being too soft I'm not meaning I'm going out being all Caesar Milan on them. I pretty much operate the same way as you do from what I've seen. Sure the soft style like Victoria Stillwell (btw not throwing any shade at her) can work well for soft dogs, and with soft dogs I do more what she does with the focus being positive reinforcement. But using soft style on hard dogs results in them walking all over you and like what you do those dogs need to be put in their place. And with point 1 it's people not understanding what the breed they got was made for. The first question I always ask to make them think is "Tell me what is *the dogs name*". Like as an example of how it goes last week started helping a friend's cousin with her insane Jack Russel. In response she said "A Jack Russel?..." I told her to tell me what that is. She said "A dog?..." I said try again she then said "A pet?..." And I said "No that's just what you decided he is." Knowing she was confused (they always are) I then asked "Why is this dog a Jack Russel? What was it made to do?" She said "To kill rats?" And I said "No. They weren't bred for that they just happened to also be good at that." Then explained that they were bred for fox hunting. They were bred to have the stamina and speed to keep up with a horse and run along with a pack of fox hounds while being small enough and having the aggression needed to dive into a fox earth (den) or into dense undergrowth to flush the fox back out to continue the hunt. So what you got is an animal bred to run a high speeds for hours while having enough aggression & prey drive to be willing to fight a fox in close quarters. You have made the decision that you're going to instead give it the title pet and demand that it's going to be content with staying in the house only going in the yard and going out for a walk around the block twice a day. I find that "thought experiment?" gets owners to really understand what it is they're dealing with and what the breed they have actually needs. At least understand what the value is in giving the exercise/types of exercises I recommend them as well as the value in some of the other more "type" specific training I give to certain breed types. Like scent hounds I train them to track which a lot of owners don't understand (as they just want their dog to behave) until I explain what it is they got and how (imo) these dogs should be taught/given outlets to do their job as it's in their blood and by teaching them to do their job (Ie tracking, herding etc) you're also teaching them how to turn it off.
Thank you 🎉 My friends great Pyrenees bole over people as a pup. When I started to rough house with him, he settled down with me and with other people. I didn't understand why it work out that way, but your video has given me insight.
I just started watching your videos today. I just got a young European Doberman for about 5 weeks. I think he's about fifteen or sixteen weeks old. I'm a quadruplegic( C5 spinal cord injury), and I've had a tough time training him because I live alone and I can't just grab things automatically. He is extremely smart and eager to please, but also very dominant and with extreme amounts of energy. I have some ideas for tools to make to go around my hands, and he is slowly learning. But your videos are very insightful, and I'm learning a lot. I hope to learn much more and patiently implement it.
Great Work by Prince! People should understand that you have to be able to physically handle a dog like a Corso it’s not a lap dog. They are pack animals that must understand that you are the alpha. It’s a serious dog.
Wow this is what my dog used to do 11 years ago when i adopted him from a family that couldn’t handle him at 9 months all. And this is also how i made him stop. It was my first dog. Talk about a strong learning curve. He has since passed. We had the strongest bond ever. I miss him everyday. Just saw the headbang. Yeah that would happen all the time. Those skulls are smt else.
One of our dogs as just about the same way. He's getting better. But I think it would almost completely stop if my husband would be more consistent with not just letting him do it.
He thinks the jumping is a game and he loves it! The problem is, he doesn't know how big and strong he is. He could cause some serious injuries to children and older people. I'll tell you right now I'm 62 years old and my balance is not what it used to be. Lately, it seems like I can trip over a shadow! If a big dog like that jumped on me, especially when I'm not expecting it, I'd be down for the count! It's a great thing that the owners are correcting that behavior. A big thank you to Prince for initiating what behavior will not be tolerated. He is such a great dog! 💙
My doberman used to do this and it was really funny at first but it got old REAL quick and he started catching elbows and a sharp "off!" Command. He realized it was not fun anymore pretty quick lol
This is what a high energy puppy looks like. Not a bad dog. Just someone needing to learn manner. Same as any other child. Dogs are very human. Yelling doesn't do much. But nips and touches mean everything. When you ignore them for poor manners or hold them preventing movement. This is boring and punishment for a dog. That is how other dogs communicate bad behavior to one another in a friendly way. By ignoring or pinning.
DUDE! Im such a huge fan! ... I did the same thing for 15 years! I said the same things you say for 15 years! ... Im using your videos to teach others. Thank you.... f the 1-2 Dog owner Karen... They haven't worked with 1000+ dogs like true professionals like you... and me :) ... Thank you for YOUR CHANNEL! NEVER STOP! ... TRUE DOG knowledge is so rare. if you ever need another Master Dog Trainer who worked with bad dogs, for a podast, let me know, I tend to be well spoken, and I got tons of stories. Cheers!
It amazes me how many people get dogs that they cannot, nor are equipped to, handle. It’s great that this owner brought this dog to you, a trainer with experience in handling this type of dog, else it could so easily end up in a sad story for the dog, as so many dogs have ended up (and continue to be) euthanized due to being abandoned, or ending up in kill shelters. Saw a girl walking a Great Dane and a pit bull not long ago. Most think it looks impressive since both dogs are big and powerful, but when the Dane started pulling, that girl was struggling to control it. Human ego is so detrimental to the well being of dogs, not to mention the safety of other people. Thanks for posting these videos.
Joel's speech at 5.15 was so well said & on target. Needs to be reiterated from the rooftops. Handle dogs properly & stop acting like they are not animals.
“This dog’s ancestors come from Roman war dogs. The problem is: this dog’s owners are _not_ trying to take over Germania.”
Really, great line ;
I was proud of myself for that one.
I googled “Germania.” Joel is a font of knowledge. 😉
maybe if they were trying to take over germania their problems would have been solved a while ago lol. imagine if dog walkers walked dogs with the motto "lets take over the world and pillage new lands"
@@angelinacamacho8575Romans didn't pillage.
Those jumps the dog did to Joel is exactly why I could not keep my Corso. Mine would jump at my husband and my husband LAUGHED !! My husband was not on the same page for training. Everything I worked on during the day time was thrown out the window in the evening when my husband came home from work. My husband would not listen to me or watch any training videos.

Why would you give away the dog that loved you and respected you, instead of letting go of the human who clearly doesn't respect you and therefore love you if he doesn't respect your needs.
@@jannie0rat both parties weren’t on the same page…would have been even more difficult for them and the dog. Have common sense. Returning to the breeder is the best thing you can do.

@@midxclappers4888 regardless I still stand by the fact that the dog loved and respected her more than the husband she is still in a relationship with. It sounds very one sided and like she is being walked all over.
So sorry you had to return her Terri. You're right everyone has to be on the same page. That's why I even have my 3 kids as well as my fiance helping me with training our am staff mix.
This actually seems like a very sweet dog. I saw no malice or aggression, just a young dog with a super body that’s full of energy.
Yes,BUT this behavior continues with a full grown 130 pound dog? He can injure even by accident.
Yes, and needing a frame 😊
the little nub tail just wagging away got me 😭 the big guy just needed some guidance to better direct all that energy!
@@missanthropy5808yes but its clearly a huge difference
All aggression is learned. It can always turn into it.
I have a 3 month Corso and from day one I have never tolerated any negative behavior and he already knows this is unacceptable behavior and he understands mom will not let me do this...Firm loving leadership and socialization is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for these dogs.
That’s good. Sounds like you’re training him right!
Once tamed, he will be a perfect dog. He is built with love and wants attention. That makes for an ideal dog to train.
i loved the way Prince so elegantly leaped over the Cane when correcting him. He looked like he was intentionally being gentle while still getting the job done.
Yeah he really liked him, but tried to calm him a bit while subtly showing who’s boss.
It always amazes me how well Prince does in all of these situations also. Even when it looks like it's too much (usually because it's in slo-motion) it always seems that it's exactly what was needed. Just cool to watch.
Showed him how much quicker He was, more agile, more organised in his intensity without any animosity, Prince is a King. Many people need a Prince, not just dogs.
I have never been a fan of Dobermann's, always found them intimidating due to the look, size and the fact that I was bit on the shoulder by one when I was 9 years old. But Prince has really opened my eyes. He is absolutely gorgeous, obviously friendly and clearly so intelligent. He is really an amazing dog!
I grew up with the sweetest dobie girl, she was affectionate and gentle unless the family was threatened and then she would get really loud and fierce to outsiders. She was smart too! When my brother and I would wrestle around she would get worried and whimper because she didn't know which she was supposed to be taking care of. But she was a great family dog!
@@carlaferrier2652 As stated above, Prince is the Doberman
@@carlaferrier2652He clearly stated prince as the Doberman which is he Doberman in all of the videos to help train the other dogs
@tvvistedv3nom26 correct. I thought the commenter was confused, thinking the cane corso was a doberman, so just clarified. I am aware he uses Prince and that Prince is a Doberman.
@@carlaferrier2652 the only one confused is you
The absolute need for submission to be given (and especially accepted) reminds me of how the pack at Senza Tempo Cane Corso keep everyone in line.
Was also thinking of Rachael's pack. Her alpha females would have put this guy down in a heart beat. So glad Joel and Prince did the same thing.
My Doberman does the same thing Prince did when his playmate would lie down. He barks at them. I guess it's his way of saying "Come on! Don't just lie there. Get up and play!".
Yes, that’s exactly what it seems like.
@@BDTraining Unfortunately there are people who think his barking means he's getting aggressive and is about to attack so they pull their dog away and playtime is over. My intact male is around 100lbs. and plays gently with smaller dogs. His smaller friends consist of a Yorkie, a French Bulldog and a Puggle (I think that's what it is) and Sammy will lay down and let them climb all over him. I have a vid of him playing with one of his friends (Punky) on my channel if you want to check him out.
he is really a young baby with so much energy, and everything done was really soft, I have no idea why people think that this is a bad way to train a dog, I hope that with the right training he growth up to be a well adjusted dog :3
There are people out there that think any form of discipline is a terrible thing.
Yeah and those people are truly the terrible ones
This is honestly why I don’t recommend very petite people get these stubborn large breed dogs. You may very well need to physically overpower it on a regular basis once it reaches maturity and the first time you fail to do so, you lose all the respect they ever had for you and start from square one again. I hope these ladies are tough and able to follow through with any necessary physical corrections. I know as a woman nearly double their size and in (what I consider at least lol) good shape, doing this with my Malamutes could be physically very taxing… but it was absolutely necessary to train them to be in the right respectful headspace.
I partially agree, partially disagree. I agree that with a dog this size, sometimes you might need to physically overpower it. However, I also think you should make it clear from the time it’s a puppy that negative behavior won’t be tolerated so that you won’t need to overpower it when it’s an adult. By then it should know better.
Agree. My grandparents had this dog. He was too much for them physically. These dogs mostly respect stern dominant men who are physically stronger than them. This is from experience.
Have you seen the second lady? She doesn't appear small nor soft to me 😂 anyways, I believe that if we train a dog right, you don't need to overpower them later, because they know their place.
My father had german shepherds and my mom teached me some basic commands and as a four years old toddler, the dog was following my commands. I never gave him any treats.
Same later when I was ten years old and we got an English Setter. After 1 year, the dog had same weight like I had as an 11 year old girl and after going on the walk with my father, soon I was capable of walking on the street with a leash by my own (which is now not legal anymore in Germany, they changed the age to 14 years).
It's true that the Setter could have easily overpowered me with pure force but didn't. The only time I was using treats was when I was teaching him "sit, down and paws"
But in the 80s dog training was very very different from what I am experiencing now with my Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix. 😮 Everything is positive reinforcement only. I wasn't ready for that change in society.
What happened in the last twenty years? 😅
Size has little to do with it unless the dog is already grown and by then it’s not the best situation for even a large person. These dogs usually weigh more than the average man so again, size doesn’t matter much, training them early matters more.
"Prince understands cause Prince doesn't follow society and positive reinforcement"...Love it!!!
"We have to speak with actions" is a really great line!! So true! I think people talk too much with their animals, and really they need to look at their actions with their animals, because that is what they truly understand.
My mastiff virtually knocked my wife out by jumping up and catcher her under the chin with his head. Stopping the jumping became a priority after that scare.
I love when he keeps it real about the kind of approach some dogs need. People get these strong-willed powerful dogs and only train with rewards and treats then wonder why they don’t understand why they act unruly. It’s unfortunate that Cane Corso’s have become so popular because too many people are getting these dogs and they will wind up in a shelter in about 8-12 months.
Ive never had a dog and probably never will. I dont know why im watching but am addicted to your videos haha. Keep up the good work and dont let the haters in the comment bother you!
Man that cane Corso has a great temperament, but yes he absolutely needs boundaries and discipline. His parents are on the ball bringing him to you.
Thank you for this opportunity to learn!
No kidding I’m a little jealous. Mine is same age but is fearful and can be reactive. I put so much work into him it’s not funny and have been working with a trainer since day one. This dog seems like a walk in the park.
I'm so glad to see you put a dog that's out of his mind on his side... I've done this a couple of times with my dog, because when we pass a couple of dogs in a short time, his brain just goes haywire. Only thing that can turn the walk into something enjoyable again is this! It is not as punishment, just like you say, only thing I want to acomplish through it, is a calmer dog.
Love the video's and love the podcasts! Keep 'em coming!!!
i try the side thing and my dog just bites me
Serious lack of respect in your relationship if your dog is biting you.
Its what mother dogs do to their puppies! Its such a powerful tool to help them understand.
@@Luckingsworth leave dog tactics to the dogs....they know how to do those things a lot better than us humans.
"The problem is this dog's owners are not trying to take over Germania"😂 made my day😂
This is the exact image of my Pitbull/Labrador mix 'Toro', he loves to jump right up to your nose, he likes to play bite, loves a challenge and when he is yelled at or told no he goes crazy like its all a big game.
His wiggly butt is so cute! Loved seeing how Joel and Prince handled him.
This is my favourite video so far. It really demonstrates your knowledge and you can see the dogs behaviour change. What a beautiful dog and Prince was fantastic as well.
My tiny Pom is very jealous of my other Poms. He’s the baby but your video reminded me to put him in his place. I give him these sticks with dry chicken around them, he eats the chicken and leaves the stick but won’t let any other dog take them.
He barks and growls, I put him on his side and told him NO a few times and make him stay like that for few seconds, he listens but he’s been sulking ever since watching the others eat his leftovers 😂😂😂
Joel, thank you SO MUCH for putting out these videos!!
Thanks for watching
Great video! Not only does Joel know dog behaviour, but he’s knowledgeable about Roman history. Love it! 👍This is one of the best videos he’s done.
He’s so cute, what a handful !
“Prince is a dog that understands what another dog needs” well said lol
That play shove into prince pouncing was the perfect level of energy! That’s insane how good prince is at playing rough
This is the BEST VIDEO OF PRINCE at his finest!!!! Amazing!! This is a great video. Lots of information. Thank you
Thank you. I got approached by idiots while walking and correcting my 11 month old Aussie-mix that I adopted out of a quiet complicated situation. The dog is a diamond, but was in need of a temporary strict and correctional treatment - which worked wonders on him. I believe in the balanced approach and seeing a super-hyper Aussie-mix getting the turn in about three and a half weeks makes me both proud of the dog and confident as a dog handler.
There’s a border collie in my neighborhood whose owners have to hold her between their legs whenever a car drives past on walks because I guess the dog will go crazy going after cars. I’m sure the dog comes from working stock and is high energy, but that’s what happens when you don’t manage the energy and behavior of a dog like that. They have a young child, so I feel for them, but I’m sure it’s making their lives difficult. As long as you’re not being abusive, don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong. It’s better to issue short corrections that have the dog drag you down the street choking from their collar or wear a harness that gives them more power to drag you instead of giving you control.
You can see the Standard Schnauzer genetic heritage in Doberman Pinschers in the way they psycho-anylyze other dogs as opposed to red lining and getting easily agitated, a gem to watch them work.
This cane corso has a really bright future. After the corrections, the exercise will be so important for him because he's just gonna be so huge and powerful, but in general I kept saying "what a good boy" 😂
So 100% with you Joel on the part of a being over the treat training nonsense. I only treat train a young puppy at around 12 weeks when I'm doing basic obedience like the Sit, Down, Wait and other obedience commands, but not for anything that is behavioural. As you said, this dog needs to be shown what's okay, and what's not?!
Exactly positive only for young pups learning new commands and correction for inappropriate behavior.
Thank you for this video! I'm glad to see I'm on the right track with my corso. I've been restraining him when he gets out of control since he was a puppy...he's always loved the fight too! I now can tell him "relax" and he will flop down on his side (in a very dramatic and unwilling manner!) and lay there until I let him up.
I agree with what you said. These dogs were bred to not to be cowards or wimps. So they need a strong owner to enforce discipline.
My pit bull acts like tht with the leg thing. This gives me a point to work with. Thank you.
Prince is such a good boy. That right there is a real professional in his field.
lmao that dog is fuckin adorable
when he bonked his big old head 😭😭😭😭 i have a boston terrier that does the same constantly, she’ll ding her little noggin and not even blink. dogs are such sweet dumb babies. you did great with this guy, just like always!
Excellent wording - the owners are "not trying to take over Germania", lol, glad to hear my home country is safe from Corso-powered invasion :-)
I just love that prince knows exactly what the dog needs based on the interaction. Like aggressive dogs need “aggressive” corrections and younger dogs that are just naive and energetic he kinda plays and shows them it’s ok while still correcting them. Dogs are amazing creatures, it’s in their blood.
I have a 4 month old corso. And holy hell this is her exact temperament. Such a sweet loving girl with a ton of energy and wiggles. Im soaking in this whole video
Prince is a mint dog 🐶
My 6th mastiff in my life (after Presas, a Boerboel and other Cane Corsos) turned out to be the most dominant, high energy Cane Corso I've ever seen and owned.
The first time she was too disrespectful, I put her on her side. She was about 14 weeks old.
She tried getting up.
I did not let her.
She tried again.
I did not let her.
She was going to learn that she needed to give in and relax.
Nothing bad was going to happen, but I was not going to let her get up until she relaxed.
She was not going to get away with this.
But she kept trying. Constantly tried to get back up on her feet, always looking around to find "a way out".
She tried getting up again.
I did not let her.
She tried again.
I did not let her.
Finally, she gave in and relaxed. A deep exhale and it was clear, she had given up.
This took an hour and 15 minutes.
The next time it took under a minute cause she had learned that there's no way out.
Now if she is out of bounds, i tell her "down" and she lays on her side and she relaxes in a few seconds.
Then she can get up again.
Think about whether you REALLY want that internet hyped, cool battle breed, the Cane Corso.
They will love you.
They will defend you.
Nothing will stop them from defending you.
But their willpower comes at a price.
Ask yourself if you really have the knowledge and the willpower and the patience to correctly set the rules, boundaries and limitations that this breed needs.
There's a reason why Corsos are showing up in shelters in increasing numbers.
One of the best videos in a long while. This dog was basically pure energy, indicating he doesn't get to be very active at home IMHO.
I had a working line Labrador Retriever who had energy like that as a young dog. We could exercise for hours and when put in a new situation later that same day would be just as energetic as this young Cane Corso. Don’t fault the owners especially when you have no information about them other than a few clips from a training session.
If you'd ever had a really high energy dog, you'd know you can exercise them all day and 10 minutes later they'e ready to go again. Don't judge based on assumptions.
@@sportysbusinessexactly! It’s not like they have tons of energy one day and then none the next. Wth?! Lol
My corso is like this when multiple people around even after going hiking 3 days in a row I swear, they love to fight and will find it where they can if not given something to do- example pushing boundaries with new people, leaning on them, them pushing him off and he leans more. Now he’s so hyper aroused when people come over, It’s all a game.
@@amalieeq1256 he does that body thing where he pushes his body into people and other dogs?
My dog is exactly the same. Loves the fight. Thanks to Joel’s videos we reduced behavior of this type 80% and as she gets older I’m sure it will be more :)
Yikes when working at a shelter and American bulldog almost threw me dow when he suddenly jumped up on me like that. I had to push him off me and correct him several times before he got it in his head not to do that. Treat would have never gotten him anywhere. He not only jumped but also pulled like crazy. I nicknamed him After being corrected and put in his place several times he no longer does either. He was still a happy boy and loved all the workers. The only change that happened was him developing manners and becoming a good canine citizen.
Treats and positivity only are for learning tricks and for dogs that are behaved.
OMG, I've never seen such a derpy goofball of a cane corso!
It was amazing how you and Prince did exactly the same thing
This video might be the perfect example as to why dogs are better teachers for dogs.
The part of Prince getting an immediately, pretty much perfect result after putting this Cane pup on his side vs a human doing it but not really getting anywhere should be enough proof for any wannabe experts thinking dogs teaching dogs isn't as good as humans teaching them.
If you speak the same language, communication is easier and more fruitful. These two very much made that clear. And I love it.
I just found this channel -- I am so in awe of you and Prince.. So many dogs absorb their owner's ego. You and Prince go into each interaction with your egos put away. Many dogs are insecure and cannot handle the back and forth of these dominance displays, but Prince truly is a teacher. His goal with these dogs is not to be the biggest and the baddest; when another dog mounts him or "wins" an exchange, he never escalates unnecessarily. He returns with an appropriate amount of force and he truly does not take it personally. I have worked in dog rescue, then as a vet tech for around 5 years, and even in dog grooming. Very rarely do you see a dog like Prince. And you both understand each other so well, it's something I have not seen from any other dog trainers I have watched.. And I have watched many!
Zac George would be lining his mascara with tears watching this. 😊
I don't follow the dog training world like most here but Mr George consistently takes Ls for some reason 😂😂😂
@@town944folkikr 😂😂
He's a clueless idiot. If you are a Karen who thinks their dog is a baby that deserves treats regardless, then fill yer boots.
Prince is like the town crier.
He told the kid what time it is.
This was my guy at 10 months old. Wish I'd had this video then. The protection stuff kicked in hard at a year and a half. He's nearly 4 now and we made it through but sheesh, what a time. He still loves nothing more than a wrestle.
I can see how these dogs can go from seemingly good dogs to nasty and aggressive. This dog is so adorable and to the untrained eye you would think this is normal puppy stuff that he will outgrow and seeing that wiggly butt as a good thing because it's so cute lol. But big dogs like this can become very dangerous if this behavior is not corrected early. So great of the owner for bringing her dog in for early intervention.
Germania approves that this dog is not released on us!
I really love your professionality. You don't secretly kick dogs in the side or something like some so-called dog experts do, it seems like you made your behavior act like dogs would do it, so that the dog instinctively understand that this is a correction
This dude needs a frisbee and a lot of socialization with as many dogs as possible but I think his main problem is his energy which is normal for an 11 yo old muscle dog. Plus learning he cant win. 😊 Go Prince.
So glad I found you! Finally practical advice that is based in behavioral science and common sense. I'm just sick of mamby pamby veterinarians telling me punishment is bad and not even understanding canine behavior. Also sick of the steroid induced military influencers recommending use of prong and ecollars as the only way to extinguish unwanted behaviors. You are the Goldilocks of dog training....just right.
He's half grown, imagine a dog behaving like that in a years time.
His owners are tiny, they've really got to develop a commanding posture that the dog respects.
I could play with this dog all day, he looks great fun, but I'm 5'11" and weigh 220lbs!
Aw, what a sweet baby cane corso. Too much energy lol. With training he will be the best loyal dog ever. We adopted from the shelter an adult (maybe 5-6 years old?) cane corso back in 2020, he only jumped up on us when we hugged each other. Think perhaps he was witness to some kind of domestic violence at his previous home. Not sure, but his jumping wasn’t out of aggression or play, it was concern. He would push one of us away from the hug. Since then he now knows that hugs are good and that we’re not hurting each other, and he hasn’t jumped up ever since. Cane corsos are amazing dogs 💕 but definitely need amazing owners to keep them in line.
He is exactly how my 11 month old Blue Nose Pitbull is. About to take him to board and training 04.Feb.2024. Great videos
This is the best dog training channel out there. Nothing else compares & Ive watched hundreds of hours of videos. Thank you!
I just sooo love cane corso's and wish they all got this kind of training when they were still young
It’s beautiful to see the transition ❤
Prince was amazing in this video
This was so helpful, thanks for the video. I have a five months old Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix and she's a force of nature sometimes.. and the puppy school only does "positive reinforcement" (i live in Germany) and I can't stop the jumping with it. This is why I am looking for advice outside of Germany.
I once corrected the dog in a calm way and the trainer came to me and corrected me that "what you did is bad".
I explained that I am a female and if I don't get this behavior out of the dog now, my future will be very difficult. Because this dogs like "yeah, let's make it a game".
The trainers solution was "you don't give her enough treats, upgrade the quality of food and then you will have results" (face-palm from my side). Again, thanks so much for this valuable information.
My dogs hitting his head sometimes when she has her zooomies and she doesn't care at all neither. Good to know that this means she is a tough nut.
Joel & Prince truly work in such synchronicity & are an amazing duo. Not every dog responds to the same basic run of the mill training methods, so treats would only hinder this war dog and dare to say actually be extremely negative & counter intuitive.
I hope Garrett Wing comments 😁. Good on these owners for taking this step at 11 months & not waiting until the dog has learned to be an expert bully throwing twice the weight round in a year! Interesting energy level for this breed??? Was picturing your reinforcement scale my head the whole time! That dog hitting his head is such a good point. A good boy with some serious tenacity (which he can’t help like Joel said). Thanks again 👍👍👍.
In that first playtime between those two, you can see Prince gently biting the other dogs legs when it tries to kick or keep prince away, Prince got the other dog to stop pawing at him and get him to put his paws down to himself so he could relax. He got dominated by Prince and it was incredibly fascinating to see, theres a war dog doing what they do, and he ends up being completely shaken up. You can literally see it on him that he's learning and changing!
This was so helpful to see how to manage all this energy and to address it while the dog is young enough to learn boundaries before he becomes a real problem. Thank you Joel for sharing this training session.
prince did such a good job
The wiggles are what my aussie does too and I've been doing the same thing. Don't give her attention until she's calm. Once she's calm, until she isn't calm again and then I'll stop petting her. It's definitely helped her learn to be a bit calmer.
He is a beautiful dog! He’s a good dog, and needed those corrections.
I love the way Prince works. You fantastic dog.
I hope these owners follow through with what you teach them, Joel! Corsos get tough around 2 years old and if they haven’t figured out how to handle him by then, it’s going to be a mess.
I believe that they have made a good descicion already in seeing Joel and asking for advice. They are clearly open minded enough to get help from experts and changing gears if positive reinforcement only training doesn't get the results.
Imagine those two ladies had the right trainer from the beginning.. I am positive that they will follow through.
I love watching your videos a lot of people need to watch your videos so they can understand the truth of your training.
what a great video, love these two playing
If you watch Jason Corey’s videos you’ll see that his two Corsos are extremely well trained but are total wiggle butts with super waggy tails when released from training, it might be a breed thing 🤷🏻♀️
I noticed that the dog in the video is neutered already which is unfortunate.
New research shows that it can be a big factor in things like bone cancer, the growth plates in the legs not closing at the right time which can cause the bone to be too long for the ligaments and tendons, plus many other health issues.
The current recommendation for large or giant breed dogs is to not spay/neuter, do a hormone sparing spay/neuter, or wait until they are at least two years old (preferably three if you can).
I understand that a lot of vets will stick to the old ways and will discount this research because they are taught to treat everyone as an irresponsible owner that needs their dog “fixed” ASAP.
My own vet (I live in Australia btw) wanted me to have my bullmastiff/American staffy neutered at 10 months old, they told me this at his first vaccination.
He’s just over two years old and I had him neutered last Thursday because puberty hit him like a freight train and he started humping people who menstruate (even if they weren’t at the time), and my Jack Russel/ridgeback mix.
I feel this is the responsible thing for me to do.
That was nutty to watch. That dog really needs help, so stubborn. From what I've seen prople should be very wary of thinking they can handle a Cane Corso. Great video
The man of the household could sort this strong dog out, he’s not something I would want to battle with.
Great video!!! 🙂👍
Your point around the 5min mark talking about trainers who moan about this stuff being mean when in reality they just don't work with these dogs/get results with them whole heartedly agree!
I'm not a professional dog trainer or anything like you but I have ended up training a lot of dogs *cough* and owners *cough* in my town, I had been trained by my Grandfather who was a K9 handler in the military and how we operate is pretty similar to how you do. I've trained dogs ranging from bad obedience, bad manners, terrified of the world, dominance or straight up aggression (will add while I recommend people who approach me to go to a trainer I only help people who aren't willing to spend anymore money on trainers, as usually they've tried several but failed. Don't know the situation in the US but in the UK dog training culture is flooded by soft trainers. Soft to the point they'd call YOU abusive 😅🤣😭😭. So basically cases where if I don't help the dog it won't get helped).
Anyway I've noticed it nearly always comes down to a combination of two things.
1. People not knowing what they actually have.
&
2. People being too soft.
When I say about people being too soft I'm not meaning I'm going out being all Caesar Milan on them. I pretty much operate the same way as you do from what I've seen.
Sure the soft style like Victoria Stillwell (btw not throwing any shade at her) can work well for soft dogs, and with soft dogs I do more what she does with the focus being positive reinforcement.
But using soft style on hard dogs results in them walking all over you and like what you do those dogs need to be put in their place.
And with point 1 it's people not understanding what the breed they got was made for. The first question I always ask to make them think is "Tell me what is *the dogs name*".
Like as an example of how it goes last week started helping a friend's cousin with her insane Jack Russel. In response she said "A Jack Russel?..." I told her to tell me what that is. She said "A dog?..." I said try again she then said "A pet?..." And I said "No that's just what you decided he is." Knowing she was confused (they always are) I then asked "Why is this dog a Jack Russel? What was it made to do?" She said "To kill rats?" And I said "No. They weren't bred for that they just happened to also be good at that." Then explained that they were bred for fox hunting. They were bred to have the stamina and speed to keep up with a horse and run along with a pack of fox hounds while being small enough and having the aggression needed to dive into a fox earth (den) or into dense undergrowth to flush the fox back out to continue the hunt.
So what you got is an animal bred to run a high speeds for hours while having enough aggression & prey drive to be willing to fight a fox in close quarters.
You have made the decision that you're going to instead give it the title pet and demand that it's going to be content with staying in the house only going in the yard and going out for a walk around the block twice a day.
I find that "thought experiment?" gets owners to really understand what it is they're dealing with and what the breed they have actually needs. At least understand what the value is in giving the exercise/types of exercises I recommend them as well as the value in some of the other more "type" specific training I give to certain breed types. Like scent hounds I train them to track which a lot of owners don't understand (as they just want their dog to behave) until I explain what it is they got and how (imo) these dogs should be taught/given outlets to do their job as it's in their blood and by teaching them to do their job (Ie tracking, herding etc) you're also teaching them how to turn it off.
Thank you 🎉 My friends great Pyrenees bole over people as a pup. When I started to rough house with him, he settled down with me and with other people.
I didn't understand why it work out that way, but your video has given me insight.
Nice job Joel. My favorite breed , Cane Corso. They are just precious to me. ❤
It can't be done better!
After watching many of your videos it's undeniable you're an excellent trainer. The way you train these clueless dog owners is masterful .
I just started watching your videos today. I just got a young European Doberman for about 5 weeks. I think he's about fifteen or sixteen weeks old. I'm a quadruplegic( C5 spinal cord injury), and I've had a tough time training him because I live alone and I can't just grab things automatically. He is extremely smart and eager to please, but also very dominant and with extreme amounts of energy. I have some ideas for tools to make to go around my hands, and he is slowly learning. But your videos are very insightful, and I'm learning a lot. I hope to learn much more and patiently implement it.
Great Work by Prince! People should understand that you have to be able to physically handle a dog like a Corso it’s not a lap dog. They are pack animals that must understand that you are the alpha. It’s a serious dog.
Wow this is what my dog used to do 11 years ago when i adopted him from a family that couldn’t handle him at 9 months all. And this is also how i made him stop. It was my first dog. Talk about a strong learning curve. He has since passed. We had the strongest bond ever. I miss him everyday. Just saw the headbang. Yeah that would happen all the time. Those skulls are smt else.
I’m here for Prince work he’s magic
One of our dogs as just about the same way. He's getting better. But I think it would almost completely stop if my husband would be more consistent with not just letting him do it.
The way Prince jumps over him is so funny :D
He thinks the jumping is a game and he loves it! The problem is, he doesn't know how big and strong he is. He could cause some serious injuries to children and older people. I'll tell you right now I'm 62 years old and my balance is not what it used to be. Lately, it seems like I can trip over a shadow! If a big dog like that jumped on me, especially when I'm not expecting it, I'd be down for the count!
It's a great thing that the owners are correcting that behavior. A big thank you to Prince for initiating what behavior will not be tolerated. He is such a great dog! 💙
such a beautiful dog
My doberman used to do this and it was really funny at first but it got old REAL quick and he started catching elbows and a sharp "off!" Command. He realized it was not fun anymore pretty quick lol
This is what a high energy puppy looks like. Not a bad dog. Just someone needing to learn manner. Same as any other child. Dogs are very human. Yelling doesn't do much. But nips and touches mean everything. When you ignore them for poor manners or hold them preventing movement. This is boring and punishment for a dog. That is how other dogs communicate bad behavior to one another in a friendly way. By ignoring or pinning.
Dang lol prince showed him , I like how prince allowed him to understand he can’t do that without hurting him. That’s cool to see.
DUDE! Im such a huge fan! ... I did the same thing for 15 years! I said the same things you say for 15 years! ... Im using your videos to teach others. Thank you.... f the 1-2 Dog owner Karen... They haven't worked with 1000+ dogs like true professionals like you... and me :) ... Thank you for YOUR CHANNEL! NEVER STOP! ... TRUE DOG knowledge is so rare. if you ever need another Master Dog Trainer who worked with bad dogs, for a podast, let me know, I tend to be well spoken, and I got tons of stories. Cheers!
Love this video so much Joel, please don't stop. You are amazing. Thank you Joel and Beckman team!
It amazes me how many people get dogs that they cannot, nor are equipped to, handle. It’s great that this owner brought this dog to you, a trainer with experience in handling this type of dog, else it could so easily end up in a sad story for the dog, as so many dogs have ended up (and continue to be) euthanized due to being abandoned, or ending up in kill shelters.
Saw a girl walking a Great Dane and a pit bull not long ago. Most think it looks impressive since both dogs are big and powerful, but when the Dane started pulling, that girl was struggling to control it. Human ego is so detrimental to the well being of dogs, not to mention the safety of other people. Thanks for posting these videos.
Joel's speech at 5.15 was so well said & on target. Needs to be reiterated from the rooftops. Handle dogs properly & stop acting like they are not animals.
